Broken/missing dependancy.

evolution-devel's evolution-plugin-2.8.pc contains:
Requires: ... camel-provider-1.2

Which is included in evolution-data-provider-devel

So, quick-n-dirty fix is add to your package:
BuildRequires: evolution-data-provider-devel

Long-term, better fix is to add to evolution-devel:
Requires: evolution-data-provider-devel
